3 ¹⁄₄ cups self-rising flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground cloves
¹⁄₂ cup firm unsalted butter
²⁄₃ cup dark brown sugar
¹⁄₃ cup molasses

directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease two cookie sheets thoroughly.
Put the flour and spices in a food processor.
Cut the butter into small pieces, add to the processor, and blend until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
Add the sugar, molasses, and egg, and mix to a dough.
Wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out the mixture on a floured surface.
Cut out rounds or squares and place on the cookie sheets.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the shapes have risen slightly and appear a little paler in color.
Leave for two minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
